  1. A good downgrade from Fan Zhendong ALC?

    I don't think you need to change the entire setup, FZD ALC is fast but not super fast. Maybe hybrid rubbers or tacky rubbers? If you are sticking with Butterfly, perhaps Glayzer 09c is a good candidate.
  2. My 11.11 Haul ‼️‼️

    which of these are for FH and which for BH?
  3. Palio AK47 appreciation topic

    It is quite linear, speed-wise it is fast enough, but no free-speed like some tensors. Spin is sufficient, but I am not really getting "kick" out of it. I find myself trying to drive and punch more with it than doing big spinny loop with AK47 red. When I try to loop, I don't feel much dwell with...
  4. Palio AK47 appreciation topic

    I shall find out tomorrow. Just by bouncing the ball, it feels somewhere between Moon 12 M+ and Rxton 3 blue.
  5. Palio AK47 appreciation topic

    Just changed my BH to AK47 red. Non-tacky topsheet looks quite grippy. The sponge has small pores. Quite light, about 44g cut. Let see how it plays tomorrow.

    https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1877705816307548 Nothing about speed glue, but some experimental data about COR and table tennis balls. Plenty of room for a higher COR without going above 1.
  7. Double Fish Par 40 vs V40 ball

    which means the average price of those 20 balls us 50% higher, which brings it to about the same as other 3 star balls (yinhe/sanwei) in a box.
  8. Double Fish Par 40 vs V40 ball

    Did you get the 30 without box version that is slightly cheaper than the box version? I bought those once and I think they are either fake or rejected by QC.

    Was the inner ALC uncontrollable because it is too fast, or too non-linear, or the arc is extremely high or low? Also I would be very interested to hear more about the gear hyper, especially how it compares to other rubbers! Many thanks.
  10. Joola customer support - Joola Dynaryz ZGX

    I thought Rhyzen is being replaced by Tronix, what's the point of releasing Rhyzen ZGX then, why not just go right to Tronix ZGX? Also, is Rhyzen fire and ice discontinued?

    Relatively popular on Chinese internet, similar caliber as Moon Speed, but I didn't look for anything further since it is not ITTF approved.
  12. Aliexpress Singles Day Sale 2023

    Hadou was initially bought as an experiment for my BH - soft tacky rubber, but now I have been using Rxton 3 and I don't think I will go for anything softer, so Hadou become a spare rubber. I hope the reason for buying Positive Energy is shown clearly enough on the photo.
  13. Aliexpress Singles Day Sale 2023

    I bought a green Tuttle positive energy rubber during this sale, just put it together with Palio Hadou 40+ and Yinhe U2S I bought earlier (also from Aliexpress). The overall combo is 177.6 g. The blade is around 86 g, Hadou and Positive Energy were 55 g and 63 g before cutting.Hadou is...

    The ripple is for gripping the ball lol
  15. Aliexpress Singles Day Sale 2023

    Finally get to try out the rippled rubber! it was between this and Rxton 1 special, but I decided to go with g20 at the end as I already have 5 Loki rubbers waiting to be tested😂

    Yinhe has a W968 clone? I thought they are about cloning Viscaria.
  17. Amateur with incredible feeling

    Very interesting style. Stürzebecher covers the middle very well with his BH, which is vital for him as he probably doesn't want to pivot a lot (did he even pivot once in the match?). He also does quite a lot of long serves and long pushes, letting his opponent to turn the backspin to topspin...

    Watch out for the Friendship dragons, I think Dragon-F is tacky and the Dragon-L is non-tacky. Dragon-F only comes in mid-hard and mid-soft. Soft would be Dragon-L.
  19. Aliexpress Singles Day Sale 2023

    depends on which one of the following you can tolerate more: a harder than expected rubber, or a slower than expected rubber. Going for the harder version would be safer because sponge can be softened but not hardened.
  20. Aliexpress Singles Day Sale 2023

    I have Razka Z Extra Hard which feels about as hard as Arthur China, which is nominally 40d, but LOKI rubbers all feels softer than what they say on the sponge compare to other Chinese rubbers. So I would suggest 39 or even 38d for Battle 2 BS, unless you plan to boost.
